Question

Narrate the circumstances that led to the dispute between the man and the elephant in ‘The Gentlemen of the Jungle’.

Answer 1

Answer:

Because most areas that form elephant habitat or range within Asia are close to or adjoining human settlement, there is often conflict between animals migrating or foraging for food, and local people.

Elephant-human conflict poses a grave threat to their continued existence. Studies on conflict between elephants and humans in Asia and in Africa have identified crop raiding as the main form of conflict.
